Clovers

I didn't think clovers were also indigenous to the Philippines. And I didn't know they were this small. I found lots growing in my garden. Naaliw ako. I've yet to find four-leafed ones, though. Who'd have thunk, no?

Reiko

Reiko is my second dog. A pomeranian. The only female dog among my pets. My friends' unanimous favorite. The most malambing.

She died on January 07 this year, a Sunday, while I was out of town in Ilocos. I didn't even get to say goodbye.

So This Is Currimao...

Before today, I didn't know that Currimao is actually a town in Ilocos Norte, and that its name is spelled that way. I'm here now with Olive, Toffer, Athan (all seated) and Bing (in red, lying down).

This Sunday is a milestone of sorts cause it's the farthest I've gone north of the Philippines. We're staying in Laoag (special thanks to our gracious hostess, Bing). We went also went to Batac and Paoay earlier in the day :-)

Maria De Leon

In transit to Laoag aboard a Maria De Leon bus, with Mama O, Toffer and Athan. It's 22:22 hours on that clock, which means there's still eight hours to go before arrival, and my seat won't recline. It's probably my unsteady hands, but the discomfort makes things look like they're leaping out of their actual places.

This is going to be a sleepless night.
